In relation to taxes, I already know that housefees are tax deductible, and tipouts are not -- unless you pay more than $700 and have the person you are tipping out to give you their information and file a 1099, etc. (correct me if I'm wrong here...)
What I don't understand is, in the club that I have just started out at, we have a mandatory "tip-out" each night of $15. Which, okay is not a whole lot but it adds up, considering I'm only making $100-$150 a shift at most. How can tipouts not be tax deductible if they are mandatory? Or is my club confusing this with a housefee? If so, does that mean I should tip out a little extra? I don't understand. I don't want to come off as cheap and/or greedy, I like to tip accordingly...but I'm not understanding the tax aspect of it.
